On so many occasions, I have come across solutions to running your gels faster/ alternatives to slab gels etc etc. and now I dont even remember the names...

Basically, I am looking for something that will reduce electrophoresis time (ET) by a huge margin. I know there are pre-cast gels that reduce the ET to 15-20 mins. There is also something else, and does not even need a transilluminator. The only problem is, I dont remember the brand names.

All suggestions are welcome. (For all of those out there like me, send words that might even be remotely similar)

And there's always the option to use Lithium borate buffer to have faster gels in normal gel chambers...

One must presume that long and short arguments contribute to the same end. - Epicurus...except casandra's that belong to the funniest, most interesting and imaginative (or over-imaginative?) ones, I suppose.

I'd appreciate it if you'd let us know... Looking over their web site, I had the sinking feeling it was one gel. The only indication I could find that it might not be was the description to the FlashGel DNA Starter Kit, which mentions it comes with "a pack of 1.2% DNA Cassettes"...

Hi HomeBrew, Ameya,
I can't remember much about the exact price and unit (the sales talk to me very long time ago) but I do barely remember the price for 1 piece is around ~RM40 (~USD10), the system which include the visualizing box is sold separately.

You are welcome, HomeBrew... let us know how you think after you had tried it out...

These are for the complete kit to get me started... Stupid gels can't be visulaized on a normal transilluminator... now why would that be??? (They use EtBr)

I am still waiting for their quotes on packs of 9 and 18... but at these rates of their starter kits... I cant hope for any relief. After speaking to my boss, I realized that the cost of running the usual agarose gels are as less $ 3 (that is rounding off to the NEXT INTEGER )

You mean USD 3?For my calculation, my gel is around RM4, (USD1)And yet, I most of the time still recycle my agarose by remelting in microwave and add EtBr again...
